      Well, what about people that aren’t attractive. Are they supposed to never have partners?

          Mentally, definitely. But we’re talking about physically here. Physical attractiveness is pretty much the same across all humans, or rather what isn’t attractive. Extreme mutilations and similar for example.

            I take your point, and I used to believe that, but I learned my view was pretty narrow, compared to the options/tastes expressed by the diverse people I’ve met, since.

      The original question asked about physical attraction - not attraction overall.

      There’s lots of shit that makes people attractive and physical attraction is a rather minor portion of that equation for a lot of people.

      Not planning to. I asked to try to gauge whether this was widespread behaviour.

        I understand wanting to get a read on how other relationships work, but I’d also like to say wayyy to many relationships are not good examples, and even the ones that do look like good examples can look very different from the inside.

        Getting more information is almost always good, but be careful to take it with a grain of salt, and above all do what feels right by you and your partner over advice you got from people who’s relationships you don’t know too much about.
